If You Don’t Come Down, I’ll Go Up

When she returned to Hexuyuan, Junjun was already asleep.

However, Xu Chun was still awake, sitting on the sofa, folding clothes just taken out of the dryer.

Seeing Sheng Xiangsi, she spoke softly, "You're back? Junjun is asleep. I'll accompany her once I finish tidying up."

"Sister Xu, thank you so much."

This was not just politeness, but heartfelt gratitude.

Junjun wasn't an ordinary child. Special care was needed at night. Although Xu Chun was a paid helper, her genuine kindness and thorough care went beyond what was required.

"You're too polite." Xu Chun waved her hand with a smile, "I have a daughter too. Honestly, you've got it tough."

As a single mother herself, Xu Chun deeply understood Sheng Xiangsi's struggles.

"It's late. You should wash up and get some rest."

"Okay." Sheng Xiangsi got up and headed to the bathroom. "Sister Xu, I'll stay with Junjun tonight. You get some rest."

"Alright." Xu Chun smiled and nodded, "That sounds good."

Half an hour later, Sheng Xiangsi entered Junjun's room. The little one was sprawled on the bed like a small frog, her head tilted to one side, with her round, chubby mouth slightly open, happily snoring.

"Little piggy."

Sheng Xiangsi chuckled softly and gently touched her daughter's forehead. The little one was warm. In the heated room, under a light blanket, she was slightly sweaty.

Sheng Xiangsi lay down on the small bed nearby but couldn't fall asleep.

Undeniably, since returning to Jiangcheng, their days had been getting better and better.

And now, she was pregnant again...

"Junjun."

Sheng Xiangsi reached out and gently squeezed her daughter's chubby little fist. "Our Junjun is the bravest, strongest little darling in the world. Just wait a bit longer, soon you'll be able to go to school and make friends like other kids."

She closed her eyes, feeling a bit teary.

…

Early the next morning.

The kitchen was filled with the enticing aroma of food.

Sheng Xiangsi came out of the room holding Junjun and set her on the sofa, handing her a bottle.

"Be good, Junjun. Drink some water first."

Drinking water first thing in the morning was a habit she had instilled in Junjun.

"Okay." Junjun obediently held the bottle, her big eyes like grapes rolling around.

"Mama, it smells so good."

"Junjun has a keen nose."

Sheng Xiangsi tapped her daughter's cute little nose, "There's cheese sweet potato in the oven. Do you want some?"

"Wow!" Junjun nodded eagerly, "I love it! I want it! Did mama make it?"

"Yes."

"Wow." Junjun's eyes sparkled, "Mama is so busy, yet you still made sweet potato for me. Thank you, mama."

The little one hugged her mom and kissed her cheek. "Thank you, mama."

"You're welcome."

Sheng Xiangsi felt a bit bitter inside. She had been too busy lately to spend much time with Junjun.

But that would change. She no longer had to deal with unrelated people.

She had the day off today and could spend quality time with Junjun.

"Junjun, let's go eat something delicious."

Sheng Xiangsi picked up Junjun and walked to the dining room.

Xu Chun had already taken the sweet potato out of the oven and placed it on the table.

The baking tray held golden sweet potatoes perfectly blended with cheese, topped with a layer of maple syrup, which had caramelized after baking.

It looked delicious.

Sheng Xiangsi cut a piece and placed it on Junjun's special plate, handing her a small spoon. "Go ahead and eat."

"Thank you, mama."

Junjun carefully held the spoon, scooped a bite, but before eating it, she blew on it.

She muttered, "Hot! Hot!"

"Yes." Sheng Xiangsi nodded with a smile, "Hot! Junjun is so clever, you don't even need mama to remind you to blow on it."

"Yeah."

Junjun buried her head, happily eating the cheesy sweet potato. "It's so good. Mama's cooking is the best."

"Eat slowly."

Sheng Xiangsi stood up, "Mama is going to make you some milk."

When she came back with the milk and handed the bottle to Junjun, her phone rang.

It was Fu Hanjiang.

Sheng Xiangsi frowned immediately. Why was he calling? Had she not been clear enough?

She hung up without answering.

But then a message popped up.

**[I'm downstairs. Are you coming down, or should I come up?]**

"!"

Sheng Xiangsi felt a chill and hurried to the window, lifting the curtain to look outside—Fu Hanjiang's Bentley was parked conspicuously there.

She wasn't sure if he could see her, but her phone rang again.

This time, it was a call.

Sheng Xiangsi had no choice but to answer.

Downstairs, Fu Hanjiang sat in his car, looking up at the window.

"You share the apartment and have a child. It's inconvenient for me to go up. But when I'm anxious, I don't care about convenience. Don't you think?"

He paused, his tone firm, "Xiangsi, are you coming down?"

What choice did she have now?

Sheng Xiangsi took a deep breath, "Wait there."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Five minutes later, Sheng Xiangsi came downstairs.

"Xiangsi."

As soon as she stepped out, Fu Hanjiang got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side, "Get in."

Sheng Xiangsi frowned in reluctance. It wasn't safe here. What if Xu Chun brought Junjun downstairs?

Even though she didn't want to, she had to get in the car and go with him.

As the car drove out of the complex, Sheng Xiangsi turned to Fu Hanjiang, "What do you want? Just say it."

Fu Hanjiang held the steering wheel, a faint smile on his lips, "I'm taking you somewhere. You have the day off, right?"

Sheng Xiangsi didn't understand his tone, "What do you mean? Where are you taking me? What does my day off have to do with you? Have you forgotten we broke up?"

Just last night!

Fu Hanjiang ignored her, as if he hadn't heard.

Sheng Xiangsi got anxious, "Where exactly are you taking me?"

She wouldn't go on a date with him again!

"Why the rush?" Fu Hanjiang glanced at her, his tone calm, "You'll see when we get there."

This road...

Sheng Xiangsi vaguely recognized it, it seemed to lead to Tingxi Road.

Tingxi Road was lined with high-end custom stores. What was he taking her there for?

When they arrived at Tingxi Road, the car stopped.

Fu Hanjiang led Sheng Xiangsi into FOURhours, a store she knew supplied clothes for the Fu family.

As they approached the door, the manager and staff came out to greet them.

"Mr. Fu, you're here."

The manager smiled at Sheng Xiangsi, "Hello, Ms. Sheng."

Sheng Xiangsi raised an eyebrow. Even she was recognized?

"Please come in."

"Hmm." Fu Hanjiang nodded slightly, leading Sheng Xiangsi into the store.

The manager knew that Sheng Xiangsi was the main focus today.

Previously, Mr. Rong had called, saying the women's clothes they had sent over last time did not please Ms. Sheng, which made Mr. Fu very unhappy!

"Ms. Sheng."

The manager followed her closely, apologizing with a smile.

"I'm sorry the clothes we sent last time didn't satisfy you. Would you mind telling me what style you prefer? I'll make better recommendations for you."

Hmm?

Sheng Xiangsi raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Hanjiang, wondering what this was all about.
